So, you should have kept the explanation consistent with the provided quote. The point is that with an even number of participants, the captains are in equal conditions: the "last captain" (A) picks first in two rounds, and the "first captain" (B) picks first in only one round. Therefore, in a draft with 4 players per team, the captain who receives fewer votes should theoretically face the following situation: Player 1: B > A Player 2: A > B Player 3: B > A Player 4: A > B This looks more balanced than if you add another participant to the draft.
